Web Design in Wales

Thursday, 28 April 2016

Going to try something different today guys, a lot of my
readers on here are interested in becoming web designers so I thought I would
share a small article to get you guys started.

For me personally I became a web designer by accident.Yeah that’s right, my whole career started
off by me just needing to pay some bills.So here is my story.

Like I said I needed to pay some bills and at the time I
didn’t have a job and was still in school studying.I already had some knowledge with photoshop
because I used it in school many times.So I came across a site online where people were selling banners and
logos for $10-$15.So I posted on that
site and within a few months I had paid off all of my bills and had paid for my
very first holiday abroad to sunny Spain!!!

Now I’m not a graphic designer, and the logos created were
poor in my opinion, but my clients loved them, so that’s all ways good.I saw that on the job board that the
developers were the real rock stars, so I began to learn development.

I watched the same youtube videos over and over again, and
eventually I could make a static html site with an external css style
sheet.Crazy how long that took me to
learn, but eventually I was hooked.

From there I went to college/university to study software
engineering.While in college I carried
on freelancing, and on completion of my college course I was hired by a digital
marketing company in wales.I worked
there for over a year and a half, working on small business websites to major
brand names in the south wales area.

After a little while I decided that I would like to work for
myself and began putting together a small team of people to work with.Now I have started my own web development
firm that specialises in responsive, easy to use, fast and search engine
friendly websites. The company is a web design in wales company that helps small business get online.
